Most workshops are led by a paid tutor, always an experienced jazz musician. We have had some of the UK's leading names as tutors. Some workshops are led by Jazz Cooperative members. These can be good fun, and offer an opportunity for members to try out arrangements, experience band-leading or just choose their favourite jazz standards.

As we don't know who will turn up, the line-up at a session is unpredictable. Usually we get a good band, with drums, bass, piano, guitar, several saxes, a trumpet a singer and maybe a trombone or clarinet. The content of the session is determined by the tutor, and over the season we will play a range of different styles of jazz, including swing, be-bop, modern, funk and so on. One week we could be playing Duke Ellington tunes, and the next, Miles Davis or John Coltrane. We also see a variety of teaching styles. The emphasis tends to be on group playing, rather than instrumental technique.

There is a range of levels of musicianship amongst the members. Some play regularly in public, others are less experienced, but all are welcome. You don't have to be a member to turn up and play at one of our workshops: try it out a few times and if you like it, become a member.

We occasionally hold other events, such as a concert, masterclass or special tutorial session. It is also possible that members may wish to arrange personal lessons with a visiting tutor.

The term "Folk" is rather loosely used for this club - there is a wonderful diversity of music ranging from very traditional English, Scottish and Irish folk music right through the spectrum of blues, jazz, country and middle of the road, we even get classical occasionally from some of our talented musicians. Amongst the many instruments played are guitar, mandolin, auto-harp, banjo, hurdy-gurdy, whistle, flute, bodhran, fiddle, melodeon, harmonica, accordion, dulcimer to name but a few, then of course there are the many singers. However, whatever the style of music - the club is keeping up the tradition of "live" music and long may it go on.

Some may say that our club is not a "proper" Folk Club because we don't have guest performances from famous folk singers and bands but we have a great time and there is a great deal of talent amongst our many members - it doesn't leave room for "guests"! It is rare that we have less than a dozen performers and there are often quite a few more than that.
